For most of my life, my greatest inspiration has been, and still is, Jesus. I have never met anyone else who asks such clear questions, loves so unconditionally or lives in such a challenging way; reminding me daily that he believes in me and all that I can be. Many years ago, I believe that God told me that His plan for my life was to 'Feed my lambs' and I think He directed me to St John's for this purpose. St John's is a place where we, as a whole community, help children to aspire to fulfil their potential and purpose through love, care, opportunity and challenge: what a privilege to spend my days doing this!

Upon leaving the army, I was given a fantastic opportunity to train as a primary school teacher. I was driven by a passion to work in a school where I could make a meaningful impact on the whole child, not just academically, but personally and socially as well.

Since then, I’ve been fortunate to step into a leadership role, where I truly feel at home. Here, I continue to make a positive difference and take great pride in helping to shape children into well-rounded, responsible citizens. Being part of their journey is a privilege—and one I approach with purpose, dedication, and a deep sense of responsibility.
